Hi, I have my first presentation interview coming up and I have never done one before. I am terrified since I haven’t done one before. Any advice or tips?

Like a second stage? Now BO's funny looking rocket can't go orbital. If you were one of Bezos's engineers, then how would you make New Shepard reach orbit?

These guys just filed Ch 11 bankruptcy protection in order to find a buyer. I recall Blue Origin working with these guys on nuclear thermal propulsion concepts in the past. https://www.usnc.com/ultra-safe-nuclear-corporation-usnc-files-chapter-11-petition-to-facilitate-sale/

Up next is a hot-fire test of the massive rocket.

Blue Origin took another significant step toward the launch of its large New Glenn rocket on Tuesday night by rolling the first stage of the vehicle to a launch site at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Although the company's rocket factory in Florida is only a few miles from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, because of the rocket and transporter's size, the procession had to follow a more circuitous route. In a post on LinkedIn, Blue Origin's chief executive, Dave Limp, said the route taken by the rocket to the pad is 23 miles long.

Limp also provided some details on GERT, the company's nickname for the "Giant Enormous Rocket Truck" devised to transport the massive New Glenn first stage.

"Our transporter comprises two trailers connected by cradles and a strongback assembly designed in-house," Limp said. "There are 22 axles and 176 tires on this transport vehicle. It’s towed by an Oshkosh M1070, a repurposed US Army tank transporter, with 505 horsepower and 1,825 pound-feet of torque."......

What should I expect for the interview? any tips?

After he spoke in Austin, Trump greeted executives from Blue Origin, the space exploration company owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos.

Bezos is the founder of Amazon and the owner of The Washington Post, which reported Friday that its editorial board won’t endorse a candidate for president. The decision was framed as a return to earlier tradition, but it sparked speculation that Bezos wants to avoid antagonizing Trump, who has vowed retribution against his enemies and critics if he returns to the White House.

The Post editorial board endorsed Trump’s Democratic rivals in 2016 and 2020, and the former president has often railed against critical news coverage by the newspaper.

Trump spoke briefly with Blue Origin’s CEO, David Limp, and vice president of government relations, Megan Mitchell, as he left a hangar where he spoke to supporters and journalists at the Austin airport.

The conversation underscores the web of diverse and competing interests in the Bezos business empire. Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to questions about whether the conversation had been planned and whether they had attended the event.

Bezos bought the Washington Post in 2013. He made the purchase as an individual and Amazon.com Inc. was not involved. Bezos stepped down as Amazon CEO in 2021 but remains the company’s executive chairman and largest shareholder.

Officials with Seattle-based Blue Origin did not immediately respond to a message from The Associated Press.

All i know is the Blue Origin twitter account, and Jeff Bezos barely uses his...

Is there some good top engineer that reveals the blueprint and schematics of BE-4 design and insides of New Glenn? Are there any renderings like this interior of Starship with a 100 crew cabin but for New Glenn? What about any info on New Armstrong? is it going to be bigger than Starship? I hope its 18m diameter like Starship 2.0, or even bigger

And how is everything with that "project jarvis" going? What came of it?

I know that the office in LA is not a manufacturing hub, or a big office, but it’s close to where I want to live. I’m goin g to be entering college soon, and Blue is my dream place to intern. Can anyone share what working in the LA office is like? Just things like management, environment, etc.

Let’s be honest, Dave Limp is awesome! 😎
